Pestie Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Here is my very nice Vintage bass bought off this site recently. It is lovely in vintage white and it plays and looks really nice. The hardware is rock solid Wilkinson and so is the pick up. The bass weighs about 9.5lbs which is 1.5 too heavy for me so it has to go. This is a really nice bass to use as a back up or if you just fancy a cheapy for a change. It has a couple of scuff marks that it came with and I think the previous owner thought they may have been caused by rubbing from a gig bag. I have shown the worst one which can't really be seen when you play and there is also a smaller one on top of the upper bout that only the player can see. They may be able to be removed with a bit if T Cut but I didn't want to try it. The bass has no fret wear or dings or knocks to the neck, it stays in tune and is pretty much unmarked apart from the black scuff marks already mentioned. I am based near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire if you fancy a try out and a cuppa. Thanks for looking Mike(Pestie) [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/VintageV4010_zpsde6bd746.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/VintageV4012_zps67640e72.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/VintageV4011_zps2e96d4ca.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/VintageV4014_zps92b6fe9e.jpg.html"][/url] Edited June 3, 2014 by Pestie
gary mac Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Damn our old shoulders eh Mike? This is an impressively good bass for not much dosh and Mike is a fine chap to deal with.
Thunderbird Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 IMO these are much better basses than any Squire I have played or owned it is a little heavy but it balances very well on a good strap and feels lighter than it is GLWTS
Pestie Posted May 2, 2014 Author Posted May 2, 2014 Thank you Gary & Paul for you kind comments. Yes, this is a really nice bass but my old back is saying it's just a bit too heavy for me. It's not heavy, just too much for me. best to you both Mike
